    Watched For Robson Green

    Newly retired detective Huw Miller (Jason Watkins) who failed in finding the killer stalker, before he retired at the grand old age of 55, following a nervous breakdown. Anyway, he need not worry, as the stalker Patrick Harbottle (Robson Green) has found him. In fact he's killed his neighbour, living directly opposite, purchased his house, and moved in, all in a space of a week or so. Sounds far fetched? That's probably because it is. The pace of the drama is too quick after episode two, it appears they have sacrificed character development while also compromising on a good storyline, so the whole production can be wrapped up in just four episodes, I speculate for budget reasons, which is a shame. Really strong acting as you would expect from two actors of this calibre, but on the whole an anticlimax.

    The best C5 drama yet

    I've watched a few of the Channel 5 four part dramas over the last few years and it's fair to say there have been more misses than hits. Most seam to have a group of the same actors that have appeared like Kara Tointon and Jill Halfpenny. In this case they the excellent Jason Watkins who l think has made two previous channel 5 dramas.

    He is on top form here as a retired police detective who has a chance to finally crack the case that eluded him in his time as a police detective.

    There are plenty of plot holes particularly in the last episode but if you put that aside. You have an entertaining 4 episodes of crime drama.

    Disappointing...

    I am a big fan of both leads however this drama was very disappointing due to the poorly written script. Predictable, pedantic & not worthy of the actors involved.

    That being said, if you need something to watch, there are many worse programs than this one! The last half hour watching the two leads almost made it worthwhile!

    I don't know why Channel 5 can't come up with more interesting programming.

    When I think of all the excellent British programming I'm confused as to where they are getting their writers. They obviously have no problem in attracting excellent actors. Are they running out of money when searching for stories?

    Was this script written in crayons?

    Yet another series reviewed all within 48 hours stating the best thing on TV ever.

    Seriously you need to watch this garbage, purely to figure out how notable actors and actresses ( is that word allowed ) agreed to appear in this. Money, pure & simple. Great cast, shocking script, dialogue etc etc etc. I guarantee you'll say OFFS at least 5 times in episodes 2, 3 & 4.

    Spoon fed dialogue to explain the obvious, ridiculous plot and even worse screaminginly ridiculous scenes that not even a simpleton would follow. Or maybe that's the state of TV when we have 500 channels following people doing their jobs, cleaning houses or Joel Dommet. Watch Playing Nice, Sixth Commandment or even a blank screen. Honestly it's better than this absolute sh@/@

    Edge of seat drama

    Great 4 episode drama, I watched it in a week and I'm not normally a TV binger. 'The game' between the two main characters, a returning ' gold blend' stalker and the freshly retired cop who didn't quite manage to catch him and is now adrift and restless playing gold.

    The plot was a little predictable at times but just drew me in, plenty of 'aghhh' edge of seat moments when moves are about to be uncovered and you're desperately hoping the hero can stop unraveling in his frustration before more havoc is wreaked in this quaintly friendly neighbourhood.

    Great acting all round. It wouldn't surprise me if we get a season 2.

    • Trivia
      Amazingly the series is filmed not in the UK but in Northern Spain, in the Basque region cities of Bilbao and Vitoria. Whilst the houses look like a modern interpretation of British, look out for the unusually thin bricks.
